: Reservoir bone dry?
05LLY2500HD 03-08-2005, 10:31 PM Check it. Several 05s with or without the Predator show signs of leaking antifreeze,milky splatter marks on underside of hood, overheating pulling a load, and a bone dry reservoir. uncle has one, general contractor has one both are having heads replaced. Other 3 that we know of were strangers we spoke to, and looked under their hoods.
Anyone else?
One guys heads were badly warped, probably due to the predator though.
McRat 03-09-2005, 12:28 AM No, it is the aluminum headed Duramax that blows the heads loose with a single tune. Cast iron is certainly better!
:D
ToddPSD 03-09-2005, 06:08 PM The Predator advances the timing to far. They don't make up with fuel or extra boost. This causes higher cylinder pressure and there goes the head gaskets. Predator = crappy programming.
As for the coolant puke, when that thing reaches and stays at 35psi for a while it will spit out some coolant. Mine did it under a 15K load but I didn't add any just below the bottom line. Never got hot.

If its a '04 with crap oh the hood blanket, that is where the crankcase vent is. Sprays that on the blanket. I think the '05's are rerouted.
But I'm not doubting you, I imagine you can tell the difference between oil and coolant. :D
05LLY2500HD 03-21-2005, 10:39 PM definately not oil. it's milky white, and all over, not just the hood but all on the radiator, everywhere under the hood, plus the reservoir is literally bone dry, not a drop, and now it's smokin' BLUE he swears he's gonna blow it up, and then pour diesel all over it and see if it'll burn.

milky white..brings back memories of a blown head gasket..
05LLY2500HD 03-21-2005, 11:39 PM milky white..brings back memories of a blown head gasket..EXACTLY, one has already had his replaced, one other is well trying to blow it up. Your post just furthers my opinion of it being a head gasket, will tell him first thing tommorrow morning. Thanks.
